Key features

What VPN Bypass does at a glance.

  • 37 built-in service packs (Telegram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, Zoom, GitHub and more) plus any domain, wildcard or subnet you add

  • In Custom mode a rule can exit direct, through a specific VPN when several are up, through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy, or through a Tailscale peer

  • Routes come back

    On their own when the VPN reconnects or the network changes, and domains are re-resolved as their addresses rotate

  • Detects GlobalProtect, Cisco AnyConnect, OpenVPN, WireGuard, FortiClient, Zscaler, Cloudflare WARP, Pulse Secure, Check Point and Tailscale exit nodes

  • Leaves Tailscale's own range, loopback and the other tunnels alone, so a mesh VPN and local proxies keep working next to it

  • vpnb scripts everything the app does

    Over a socket only your account can open, and reads passwords from standard input, never from the command line
